I don't know much out how those other package managers like yum/dnf does
it. But there you just do:
$ yumdownloader --source openvpn-2.4.2
or
$ dnf download --source openvpn-2.4.2
The SUSE universe uses, zypper instead of yum/dnf, so I presume there is
something similar.
In addition, anyone who have touched Fedora packaging also knows how to
use "fedpkg clone openvpn".

Ahh, AIX uses RPMs ... that is, well, kind of funny :) Does it use any
tools on top of rpm itself? (yum/dnf/zypper)
